CELEBRITY NET WORTH RELEASES LIST OF TOP 30 RICHEST DJ'S IN THE WORLD

Usually when there's talk about who are the most influential and wealthiest people, Forbes usually compiles a the list of the wealthiest mainstream entertainers or OUT magazine would gather a list of the movers and shakers in gay Hollywood. Now that EDM is on the rise in America, the website Celebrity Net Worth has released their list of top 30 big earners in the dance music world. While it's no shocker that crossover DJ's of the moment Swedish House Mafia ($4 million each), Skrillex ($8 million), and Calvin Harris ($10 million) made the list, I'm excited that some of my favorite EDM innovators like Daft Punk ($30 million), Fatboy Slim ($22 million) and Pete Tong ($30 million) made the list, with the top five big breadwinners being trance DJ's (a genre I'm personally not too fond of listening to. I like my dance music more on the aggressive or soulful house side).

Also if you're going to do a list, shouldn't it be specifically DJ's and not a mixture of DJ's and producers? Some of these people on this list make a shitload of money playing pre-recorded tracks and just jump up and down twiddling knobs and pretending they're actually doing something. I've seen it actually happen a few times during their US stage performances. Sadly, not even the notoriety of reality TV could get Pauly D on this list, and it's alleged that he makes $500,000 a month. Check out the list below and don't be afraid to sound off on this topic.
